COORDINATION THREAD: A thread for discussing and helping form In-Character connections
Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2022 7:30 pm
So this has been brought up in the Discord, but I figured I'd move this here; When roleplaying a character, especially in a play-by-post environment, one of the biggest factors I've found is having things to do with other people. Not just doing random things and seeing if people are interested in showing up, like eating or bathing or exercising for instance. Instead, like real life, having certain things one associates with doing things with. You might have your gamer friends you play board games or RPGs with, your drinking friends you meet with down at the pub or such, your associates from work that you get together with on breaks to smoke and talk about stuff, or that one person from work or school or church or whatever that likes the same phone game as you so you sometimes get together to compare notes or events.
This thread is here to discuss and help form those sorts of things, to allow people the chance to solidify what those connections might be so they can think about possible threads to make. More so than that though it's also here to for people who are looking for someone to share one of those sorts of connection's with their character: Someone to talk about mechanics stuff with if you're a tech, someone to take lessons with in one form or another, someone who likes the same food as your character so you sneak some back to your bunk, maybe even someone who enjoys long hot showers like your character so you sometimes chew the fat in the shower rooms. The possibilities are out there. And if you see two characters in this thread who share an interest that your character might have, so much the better; A thread with three or four people enjoying something just adds more possibilities!
This introduction thread will also have my existing connections for Yoko, as well as what I might be looking for;
------------------------------
Current Tangible Connections:
* People Yoko shares smokes with - Richard Winter
* People Yoko trains with in Martial Arts - Butcher
* People Yoko has a romantic interest in - Tessa Wentworth
Current Non-Tangible Connections:
* People Yoko enjoys telling stories to - Hrafnhildur Ylfasdottir
* People Yoko wishes to learn Chinese from - MeiLing Zhou
* People going out with Yoko's love interests - Klaus von Zinzer
* People Yoko would like to get to know more because she thinks they're cute - Ezmeralda, Catherine Hayes, Gianna Rains, Alison Rodríguez
Current Openings for Recurring Threads:
* Looking for more people interested in talking on smoke breaks, since Yoko smokes a pack a day.
* Looking for people for Yoko to drink with, since she'd have at least a couple days a week getting liquored up in the LE/EN time slots.
* Looking for perverts/gossips Yoko could talk shop with about fashions, who is cute around the camp, and gossip about relationships.
* Looking for less than reputable people interested in earning "side C-Bills" through various means.
* Looking for other people who grew up in coastal towns Yoko might be able to talk about boats and fish and stuff with.
* Looking for people who like listening to/watching wrestling and MMA, since Yoko is a dork about that stuff.
